TAD - God's Balls [FULL ALBUM STREAM]

[@Wildrover82]

imagine being at the Tad and Nirvana concerts in 1989. epic hardness. heavier than heaven...

[@stevennorfolk4466]

Was at Lame Fest 89 when mudhoney nirvana and tad played and at many combinations thereof and therwith and permutations throughout me youth. We was on some weird beautiful defiant literate spaceship

[@olivermcguinness6543]

on god?

[@moronsmorons8913]

I was there. Ecstasy in Berlin Schöneberg, paid 12 Deutsche Mark, if remember correctly. I went there for Tad, not Nirvana. Also bought the announcement poster at my record store and still have it somewhere in the cellar.

[@tbaernthaler]

I was there. Circus Gammelsdorf, Germany. 1989. Nirvana opened for Tad. We all went for Tad. And then danced to Love Buzz. Glorious days.

[@Wildrover82]

@@tbaernthaler damn that must have been great. I wish I was there. Although I would have been 7 at the time. I hope your hearings ok after that. Lol.

I've been listening to this album for nearly 30 years now and it hasn't aged a day.

[@sullyholmes9379]

This is the only album that I never get tired of listening to, I one time listened to it all 5 times in one day and still wanted to hear it again the next day. Not many bands have the musical brilliance nor heaviness that TAD has.

[@StonedMeadowOfDoom]

This album definitely deserved the remaster. It sounds fucking fantastic with a much fuller sound now. Boiler Room is still one of the finest and grimiest Tad ever made. Very underappreciated band.

[@Mark-qm6db]

I was just on your channel and noticed the new TAD remaster, now i'm here, lol

[@mistamuthafuka]

Lots of albums were reissued or repressed this year, SubPop did a great job of giving these 3 TAD releases the treatment they deserved. SubPop succeeds where Thrid Man failed repressing those Melvins records.

[@krewgarr]

Amen. So glad it got remastered.

[@deanbritnell6557]

Stoned Meadow Of Doom you are good man. What you do I think your a bit of a hero. Thanks Brother

[@dannyspencer1167]

for me tad was up there with the likes of Soundgarden, nirvana and Alice in chains. really they sum up the whole grunge scene more so

[@comicndn5169]

A very heavy and underrated band.

[@thomgwarrior]

Kurt Danielson's bass tone is crushing

[@VladfishTheMagnificent]

It's crazy how much amazing music was coming out of Seattle back then. People who attended those live shows must remember them to this day.

[@oozeman23]

Tad might be Seattle´s most underrated band ... Everything they´ve done is fucking brilliant ... not too many seem to notice ... the remasters are a blessing .. it truly feels like the music finally got the sound it deserves ...

[@vinyldiary6664]

most underrated band is Screaming Trees, but Tad too, 2 killer bands!

[@blackguitarrecords]

[@hogmolly1758]

Tad was equally talented as Kurt Cobain in my opinion

[@vinyldiary6664]

​@@hogmolly1758 I agree...but Cobain has image beyond the talent you know. He looks like a model, the same with Vedder, Cornell, Staley... Tad you know is fat and ugly as fuck, besides being an extremely good person, but that doesn't sell records. But Tad is huge on the underground scene....practically influenced any decent band worth listening to. But I never understand why Screaming Trees never reached the mainstream... I mean Lanegan has the swagg, the band has everything ... music, videos to achieve huge success, they are better than U2, but they were always underground and never enjoyed great success.

[@tomread8748]

@@vinyldiary6664 I love Nirvana, but I find that their songs have somehow become so prevalent that they are kind of mainstream pop now, in a way (not in a bad way, just there, in our culture). With Tad, they still have the grit, grime and scratchy primal anger that my soul craves from edgy alternative music. It's about all I can listen to and truly, viscerally enjoy these days. Thank fuck for Tad!

[@anathem01]

Growing up in Seattle in the late 80s/early 90s was a special time. This album brings back feelings and memories that are hard to describe, but ones that shaped who I am today. Tad forever.

[@satanicpanic1313]

You can clearly hear the Impact Tad had on Nirvana and Kurt's writing style! Another diamond from the land of lumber!

[@petarkil]

kurt did listen to tad, but he didn't listen to them that much for them to have a lot of impact on his music if u wonder what his influences are, here are some: mudhoney beatles soundgarden black sabbath ac/dc sonic youth pixies melvins scratch acid aerosmith led zeppelin gang four alice in chains creedence clearwater revival and so on.. anyway, you're not completely wrong, but having listened to nirvana's music for 2+ years, i cant really see that much influence tad had on nirvana

[@_leyrd_.]

Not just Nirvana either, i can hear Soundgarden in there also.

[@Guthix198]

Wipers too but Black flag started it all when kurt and king buzzo went to a concert together kurt then found his love for punk rock

[@Albatross_1823]

Nirvana toured with Tad trust me when you tour with a band you hear their songs over and over and learn from watching. Tad definitely had a big effect on Kurt

[@lordrathut]

​@@petarkil replace Alice In Chains with Black Fkag

[@paolozamma8853]

Saw Tad with Mudhoney and Nirvana, back in 89, at the Astoria, London, Lame Fest Uk. Poor Tad, driven by enthusiasm destroyed his vintage Fender jaguar, after the gig I could see him back stage hands on his face, shaking his head in despair while the roadie guitarman was consoling him. . Tad was for me the best band from Seattle after Mudhoney.

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

[@matthewhall8790]

I think I tend to agree, maybe a toss up between Alice in Chains and Tad, but Mudhoney is definitely #1.

[@racoonman36]

[@zzzaaayyynnn]

@@GarrettParrot Alice in Chains wrote some really good songs and were fine musicians, but Tad was the "real thing" when it comes to grunge. Not as "metal crossover" as AIC.

[@uncledog-x2n]

I wore out the grooves in this record in my college dorm with this masterpiece. Scared the shit out of all my friends. I live now as a recluse, feared by my peers and neighbors. Would I do it again? Hell yes. The fury of Tad @16:00 Always remember, "Jesus drank corn squeezins."

Can’t praise this album enough. Every song is incredible. Fuckin love me some TAD.

[@questionauthority9418]

I saw both in a place that was like a huge living room. Rey Washam from Scratch Acid played drums for Tad. The fucking killed it!

[@jonnyd6809]

What a great album. Definitely preferred their Sub Pop output to the major label stuff. They put so much heart into the music and the tunes are brilliant - heavy AND melodic. No wonder people think TAD and Nirvana in the same sentence. Only one band went on to super stardom though - not they enjoyed it that much 🫤Listened to a recent Tad Doyle interview the other week, and found it hard to believe the quiet, reflective guy put out such brute music. He said he's struggled with his mental health for decades now, and had to wonder if he'd over-cooked things a little when he fronted TAD 🙁

[@richfeddersen5173]

Love TAD. This remaster bloody great. Saw them with Nirvana in '89 in England, blew Nirvana away.

[@danmeehan5801]

Just found about these guys two days ago. Although the music has some good aggression and you can hear the influence on the Nirvanas of the world, right away you can tell why they never made it big. The singing is horrible. Ultimately people want to hear a nice melodic voice. Only jam bands can get away with bad singing because they are all about the long funky jams.

[@AJays734]

This sounds terrible and i love grunge. The singing sucks paired with the alright riffs but nothing pops or is memorable.

[@MrK-wu7ci]

1. Then enjoy the riffs. Get drunker and higher and listen again. TAD started out as a drummer, so he really appreciated the heavy interaction between the drums and bass. Kurt Danielson - the best bass player on the scene. 2. TAD is a unique vocalist. Can't weigh 450 pounds and not have an inimitable vocal style. 3. Nirvana and especially Kurt Cobain were huge TAD fans. They even supported them on their European tour. There is a video of them in Italy when TAD mis-timed his high, and Kurt finished the set for him. (KZbin) Nirvana & Tad - LIVE at Bloom, Italy (FULL Concert,1989)
